variants offer a wide range of options and up to 12 switching positions.<br \/>\nIn addition to the existing 7GN and GX series, <strong><span style=\"color: #fa4515;\">LOVATO

solution.<\/strong>\u00a0It is available in two ratings, for applications up to 20A.<br \/>\nEach element has two contacts, and up to 12 elements can be combined, for a total of 24

thanks to the profile of the contact elements, they can be installed side-by-side in an extremely compact configuration.<\/p>\n<p>It is ideal for applications demanding special switching schemes with an extremely compact form factor, like small machines and mosaic panels.<br \/>\nIt also offers a highly practical wiring solution, enabling the user to install the product quickly with just a screwdriver, even in restricted spaces; the terminals are located at the top and\/or at the bottom of the switch, so that GF series cam switches can be installed right next to each other.<\/p>\n<p>If the application demands a shallow solution or a\u00a0<strong>special circuit switching scheme<\/strong>, the best solution for applications up to 20A is the\u00a0<strong>GNA20 series<\/strong>\u00a0of cam switches.<br \/>\nThey are designed for installation in shallow panels, where the switching scheme requires a large number of contacts.<br \/>\nThis device offers 4 contacts on each element so with the maximum of 12 elements it is possible to have a total of 48 contacts on a single switch.<\/p>\n<p>Both the GF and GNA20 series have IP20 degree of protection for the terminals.<\/p>\n<p>The launch of the\u00a0<strong>GN<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>series<\/strong>, on the other hand, is born from the need to offer a solution for\u00a0<strong>high power applications<\/strong>, with the requirement to switch loads up to 2000A.<br \/>\ncURus certified versions are available in the 200A and 315A sizes.<br \/>\nThis series also offers up to 12 selectable elements, for a total of 24 contacts.<\/p>\n<p>The new series are available in different variants, depending on the type of installation, with door mounting, for front mounting with or without front plate, for DIN rail mounting, etc\u2026<br \/>\nAll <strong><span style=\"color: #fa4515;\">LOVATO Electric<\/span><\/strong> cam switches can be customised with standard or special connection schemes to the client&#8217;s
